About Michelle

Michelle Kalam works with people on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem and life changes. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to talk through difficult feelings and practical problems. Michelle is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and has four years of professional experience.

She offers straightforward counselling to help people make sense of tough situations. Sessions focus on talking through what is happening, identifying patterns, and trying practical ways to cope. Michelle aims to help clients clarify goals and build skills to manage day-to-day problems.

Her work covers relationships and family matters, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, parenting strain, career pressures and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with attachment and abandonment issues, body image, guilt and shame, and end-of-life or hospice related concerns. Michelle includes support for LGBT issues and autism and Asperger syndrome related difficulties.

Sessions often look at communication problems, control issues, impulsivity and responses to domestic violence or separation. She helps people work through grief, emptiness and forgiveness, and explores practical approaches for coping and decision-making. The overall focus is on developing clearer thinking and more manageable day-to-day routines.

Michelle works in English and is based in the United Kingdom. Her BACP membership is noted as the professional credential. To begin, clients are asked to use the site matching process and schedule a first session.

How evidence-based techniques are used in online counselling

Michelle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on talking, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising new ways of coping. These approaches usually involve setting clear goals, reviewing progress, and trying practical exercises between sessions. They can help with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship stress.

Another common element is work on attachment and family-related patterns. This looks at how past relationships influence current behaviour and aims to improve communication and emotional responses. It can be useful for issues such as abandonment, trust, and difficulties with caregiving roles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the initial work together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful and adapt plans based on the client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.

Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy life and reducing travel time. Remote work can make it easier to attend short check-ins when needed and can suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower bandwidth options. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which formats are offered before booking.
